Just kidding....well, kind of ;-) *grumble grumble harumph* I hated that movie almost as much as The Cider House Rules. It's hard to say what annoyed me the most: the spineless priest who allows the town bully to rewrite his sermons; the cardboard-cutout of the repressed, miserably unhappy religious hypocrite (Alfred Molina's character) whose top priority in life is to go around making sure everyone is following the rules and therefore as unhappy as he is; or the juxtaposition of Juliet Binoche and Johnny Depp's characters as the daring nonconformists (who are necessarily sexually amoral), the only two people in the whole town who are truly happy. That movie bugged the hell out of me. But it must have struck you differently if it almost made your Top 100 list!

I was delighted to see so many other of my favorites on your list; it was like being reminded of the existence of a dozen old, dear friends I had forgotten about.

Hmmmmmm. Well. I saw that movie, like, seven years ago. Before I was Catholic, so the word 'priest' meant 'someone else's religion' to me. I remember the film being artsy and ambient, if a little amoral at points, but even now I don't remember the priest! and only vaguely the hypocrite.

Hey, I liked South Pacific! Totally forgot about that one. And Music Man, and Oklahoma... don't know if the latter would've made it in, but SP probably would have.

I've only seen the first half hour or so of Brigadoon. I would love to finish it, but from what I remember, it's likely to put Lou straight to sleep, so maybe I'll have to find other watching company. ;)

It is with much regret that I've set the monster Captcha guarding the gate. There just weren't enough blasters. I'm sorry. I hate it, too.
